Just thinking out loud…

One can not have a proper understanding of the deen without proficiency of the Arabic language. If someone was to respond, “Abu Jahil had a better grasp of the language than you and I”. This is true and one cannot deny it, yet Abu Jahil knew the Quran to be miraculous but refused to submit to it.

It is a fallacy that intelligence leads to “correctness”,rather submission to His (Allah’s) commands is what leads to guidance. A perfect example is that of Iblees, arguably“intelligent” it was his refusal to obeying Allah’s commands which lead to his misguidance.
